Three Mysterious Objects on Mars!!

Like I had mentioned earlier, there are no shadows that would suggest that these objects are not on the ground. THere would be a seperation from the
shadow and the object itself. As you can cleary see, there is not. And if this were a meteor, would the tail be consistent with the direction
travelled?

I doubt there would be a shadow anywhere near the object, unless the sun was directly behind the camera. Most likely the shadow would be so far off
it wouldnt even be visible.

And if the white stuff is "fire", it may be because Mars' atmosphere is so thin that it barely burns it up, not enough to create a fireball behind
it, so its actually in front where it first enters the atmosphere.

I can see the shadow right next to it. So there is a shadow, just not one that would appear if these objects were flying, which they are not! And how
may times have you taken a picture facing toward the ground and had the sun if front of the camera??? that doesn't even make sense! THe sun is
obviously behind the camera because you can it reflecting off the surface. Unless they are using a really big flash!! Even if you want to argue that
it isn't you can still see the shadow right next to the objects, just as if you would cast a shadow if you were standing on earth.

I said i doubt the sun was directly BEHIND the camera. If the sun were off to an angle, the shadow would also. And you are so positive the what you
see is a shadow? If it was a meteor, and the camera was focused on the surface of Mars, the meteor would be out of focus and blurry, much like a
shadow.

Did you saw the image on the link I posted?

In that image, the original, you can see that the brighter side of the "meteor" is not the brightest area of the image, but the darker areas are the
darkest of the image.

If it was a meteor starting to burn in the athmosphere it wouldn't have any darker side because the light it was emiting would cancel any shadow.

Also, if it was moving and produced a blur, in what direction do you say it would be traveling, the direction of the line made by the three objects or
the direction of what kleverone says is the shadow of the objects?
